The freezing temperatures finally broke and it was a beautiful day.  High today was around 52 degrees.  Love it.  Didn't get out until after 2:00 but it was worth it.  Ran 8 miles on the rail trail.  It was the perfect temperature.

AP: 9:11

Splits:  9:28, 9:24, 9:00, 8:59, 9:17, 9:22, 9:15, 8:42.  

I pushed myself at the end to do the last mile under 9 minutes.  Felt great.  I think I just needed this break in the weather to re-motivate me.  I think I might be getting spring fever.  Stay away old man winter!
